I believe oils and enamels are not quite the same thing.  The oil used as a vehicle in oil paint hardens when it is exposed to air.  I believe the oil is a mixture of various chemicals and some evaporate.  Enamel vehicle, I believe, actually undergoes a chemical reaction that hardens it when the thinner evaporates and the vehicle is more exposed to air.  They are both thinned with the same type of thinner, but the reaction of the vehicle is different.

You can also use  plastic circle template to spray either white enamel or acrylic on your tires.

Yes. That's 'Future' in its latest labelling. Your second question is confusing. The oil based sharpies are..oil based.

 

I heard that enamel paint is considered oil based while acrylic is water based so wanted to verify that the paint is not enamel and I can use this on rubber without chemical incompatibility.

I decided to get pledge future and the bottle I got does not show the word future. Would like to verify if this is the same one in new  packaging?

Also bought some sharpie oil based paint pen and would like to use them on my rubber tires to draw a white wall but wondering if this is enamel based?
